"After discovering documents recording the lives of Alice Brown and Emma Ainsworth, two 19th century American women who lived together for five decades and were buried next to one another in death, historians are pretty sure the pair were just close friends who just really cared about each other a lot.

“It’s so sweet to discover the remnants of such a beautiful friendship,” says historian Dr. Richard Hoff. “While neither of these women ever married, they still both seemed fulfilled by their existence living together in a one-bedroom home from around age 30 until they died of old age. Like a super sleepover!”"

what if history remembers us as very good friends?? 😳 [this is from the reductress but you get the idea]
